An Experience of Time

Guess (re)connecting of any kind by very definition happens as a consequence to some kind of a disconnect.

Context is the blog.....I've been away for a while now. This time round it's been for as objective and constructive a reason as can be ( exams :).

I love to blog, no two ways on that. Each time I write, which is aspirationally on daily basis, I love the process, I love what it enables, I love the flow, I love the learning .....yes, there's that many loves there.

Yet, yet getting back after a break is always a process. And I find that strange.... an alluring strange.

Why does it take effort to get back to even what we love doing?

It's no longer about time. It's about finding the connect....the right energy. That feeling of being 'more put together'.

We are such creatures of habit, so used to falling into the life of default, of detail, of neutral gear....... so used to a space that's neither dissonant nor reverberating, that to shift that gear, takes something....likely clarity and effort.

To do good even by ourselves is no easy path.....it's conscious effort. This reminds me of 'Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi , where he talks of the best moments not as the normal or leisure moments which are passive, receptive, relaxing but moments when your body or mind are stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile, not so difficult that it builds anxiety, but also not so easy that it can get boring, its the band in between...... and they are the moments that add up to 'magnifying ones spirit'. And that's where we grow and enhance the quality of our lives.

We each need to find what that something is that enables that shift of gear.....the one that let's you get on the path of optimum.

Why?

Because it's just so worth it :)
